Akkarai Beach in Tamil Nadu is an exposed beach break that has pretty consitent surf. Autumn and winter are the optimum times of year for waves. The best wind direction is from the west northwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the east southeast. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working. Dangerous rips are a hazard of surfing here.
